- active political discussion with other citizens- voting - political activity (citizens initiatives & campaigns,
volunteering, party & interest groups membership)

II. Democratic limitations of E-parliamentII. Democratic limitations of E-parliament
Representative democracy is about electronic democratization:
- decisions made by elected officials on behalf of citizens - politics as usual (no radical changes since 18th century)- information access & transparency as ICT component Critics: voter apathy, lack of thrust & legitimacy,
technocracy, business models etc. New processes of democratization of democracy by
participatory and deliberative democracy and its ICT components (web 2.0)

V. Towards SEE regional eDemocracy approach?V. Towards SEE regional eDemocracy approach?
1.) eParticipation is a political priority of the European Commission:
- 2006-2008: eParticipation iniciative (7. FP, 21 projects, 12 million €)
- 2009: ICT Policy Support Programme (7 million €)
2.) New 7. FP calls in 2011
3.) Opportunities to:
- narrow the gap between EU members states and candidates countries in the eParticipation domain
- address common regional issues on cross-border basis
- further development of eParticipation in the region and strengthening collaboration among stakeholders.

VI. Conclusions
1. Recognizing organized civil society (non-governmental organisations) as a relevant actor in the area of eParticipation/eDemocracy.
2. Modern democracy is a multitude of coexisting models of democracy (acknowledging eParticipation as social, cultural and political issue – interdisciplinary approach).
3. E-parliament is not only about information access & transparency but also but discussion & interactivity with citizens.
4. SEE region has a unique eParticipation potential in relation to the western Europe (regional approach to eDemocracy).
